Life Howling - Chapter 2

<First experience>

“The power of….God?”

Just now.

It feels as if a small path to my heart has opened, but I am not entirely positive if it’s real or not. What I do know is that there is power flowing inside me through that path.

According to what ‘knowledge’ I have, this was the God’s power that was flowing inside me through that path. I believe this is called the ‘Divine Power.’

The scared power of God. The Divine Power.

And with it, I will be able to make miracles using the Divine Power. Its name as the ‘Divine Law.’

Currently, I am able to make 3 different types of miracles. No, to be precise, 2 miracles reside within my body and the other can be used upon will. 

First, the Divine Flesh.

This is done by resonating the Divine Power into my body. But, this is state is subconsciously maintained at all times. The Divine Power increases the effects healing fatigue and any external wounds I might have.

Second, Basic Blood Blessing.

Knowledge of this, too, is already inside my head. Just like the Divine Flesh, this state is maintained at all times without having to worry about it.

Like a vampire, combining the blood of others with my own will act as my body absorbing its life energy to replenish what was lost.

Third, Basic Would Heal.

This…is a very common skill in any game. And, just like the name indicates, it heals wounds! It’s a skill that’s widely used by characters tied to clergy. 


“ha. Hahaha…”

All I could do was laugh. 

“I hope I’m not losing my mind…”

So, it wasn’t aliens who kidnapped me? or, did the aliens do something to my brain? What could it be? 

I raised my hand well-knowing that the Divine Law of Lyfedearc borrows power from God. Aside from the 3 miracles, I know there is another that exists for me to use.

Hwaaaak.

A bright light shined from my hand. The Divine Power reacted to my will by flowing from my heart to the end of my arm emitting light. It was something that not a single person would go on without feeling happiness. 

A holy light from the Power of God…that is not originally of this world. 

This… is strange. I looked at my hand while thinking I was either going crazy or there’s someone who is messing with constantly messing with me. 

Beeeeep.

I looked up where the sound was coming from only to notice that the text had changed.

That’s….

Player : Yoon-Hwan Jung
First ability : Lyfedearc Divine Law LV 1
First weapon : Flail

Eh? A mace? What’s that?

While I was staring at the text, a blue light appeared before me.

“huh?”

Startled, I quickly shifted my position to a defense form. Soon, the light faded from my hand and something appeared in its place.

Is this…

“A flail?”

What appeared in front of me was a metal flail with roughly a 50cm handle which looked similar to a mace.

I know what this is. I’ve seen it a few times in other games. Isn’t that what they call it overseas? A flail?

While they looked similar, the difference between a flail and a mace was definite. At the end of the handle was a chain attached with metal chunk connected to it.

But a mace does not have any metal chunks clinging to the chain at its end. There is only the chunk of metal at the end of the handle.

The flail that appeared in front of me had a 50 cm handle with 3, 50 cm chains linking hexagon shaped iron pieces which looked to be about 20 cm long. The iron pieces had 3 cm long spikes coming out of its six sides.

Getting attacked with this will definitely cause the bones to break and leave holes in the flesh.

“huah. Huah.”

I was back to controlling my breathing. For a brief moment, I closed my eyes and opened them again while trying to calm myself before picking up the flail.

It…weight about 5kg. It was heavy and bulky. I could swing this around to use it as a weapon, but it was just too heavy for me.

“I hope they’re not….expecting me to fight with this….”

Is the chill I felt run down my spine. I could feel the cold sweat soaking up my clothes and dampening my hair, meanwhile making me nauseous. 

Damn it! this is such a bullshit…

Beeeeep.

That sound again!

Paaaht!

The text began to change again.

First test

Combat – Giant Canine

“what…”

With the flail in hand, I squinted at the text trying to focus what it said.

The first test? Combat? Small canine?

That’s what I was thinking.

Paahht!

The blue light from before appeared again. but this time, it appeared 30meters direct in front of me. 

And when the light diminished, a Doberman was standing in its place.

“Fuck, are you serious? Man….”

Are they seriously trying to make me fight a damn Doberman!

“kung! Kung kung! Grrrrrr!”

The Doberman began to lower its body while barking at me ferociously. Damn it! Do they not know that normal humans can’t outrun a Doberman?!

A normal human being would lose their life fighting bare hands against a trained Doberman. This is not simply because Dobermans were known for their fighting abilities, but the difference in our instincts.

Shaking.

Without realizing, I was staring at the Doberman while dripping cold sweat all over and shaking in my shoes. 

The anxiety over this animal was causing me to tense up, in which made me grip my weapon tighter.

“hoo. Hah. Hoo. Hah.”

Calm down. Don’t get riled up. If they want you to fight, then might as well do it! Don’t waste your time standing around looking like a fool!

“Kung! Kung!”

The Doberman is running towards me. Distance between us is about 30 meters, but it won’t take long before he reaches me.

“heup!”

I stopped breathing, and lifted my flail in his direction.

“puuk!”

Paahht!
